Properties of Papers: An Introduction

With primordial roots in a 1978 home-study course, first published in 1989 as part of the Association's education program for paper merchants, and here updated and revised in light of its use by people changing jobs within the paper industry, and as a text for a college or short course. After outlining the processes and raw materials of manufacturing paper, details the structural, mechanical, visual, and other properties of different papers; the influence of the environment and its use as a barrier; and the properties required for printing and writing, packaging, and tissue papers.
